Jindo County in Jeollanam-do successfully completed a 7-night, 9-day tour of the United States by the 'Agricultural and Marine Products Export Pioneering Team,' led by County Governor Kim Hee-su.

According to the county on the 30th, following a $5 million export agreement with Hannam Chain (CEO Ha Gi-hwan), a large Korean market located in Los Angeles, the team held special promotional exhibitions for Jindo County's agricultural and marine products at four locations in the U.S., including Mega Mart in San Francisco.

Notably, during this tour, they met with Michelle Park Steel, a U.S. Congresswoman from California, and No Gwan-gyu, Mayor of Suncheon City who was on an overseas training program, introducing export strategies for Jindo County's agricultural and marine products as well as its cultural arts, fostering mutual cooperation.

This visit to the U.S. by Jindo County holds great significance as it laid the foundation for the first exchange with the United States across economic cooperation as well as cultural and social aspects.

A county official stated, "This tour was a meaningful opportunity to widely promote the excellence of Jindo County's agricultural and marine products and cultural arts," adding, "We will do our best to achieve results where both parties can grow together through steady exchanges with the U.S. market based on this opportunity."
